You Watch Me
11. You Watch Me
Written by Rachel Wilhelm
1. You know my path and my lying down
You know all my ways, You watch me
Before a word was on my tongue
Before I was, You saw me
You saw me
Chorus:
Where can I go from Your presenceYou’re in the deep and in the airWhere can I flee from the Eyes that see me
Not adrift or asleep, but everywhere You’re everywhere
2. You saw my frame, unformed and frail
My inward part, You weaved me
Before I saw light, You knew my name
And all the days before me
Before me
Chorus
Psalm 139 always scared me and comforted me at the same time. It is also one of the most pro-life passages of Scripture in the Bible. And a passage that also shouts predestination and God's sovereignty. I wanted to capture the eerieness of the whole situation with the tune. I wrote this during the same time I wrote Out of the Depths.
